Briddell is accused in the shooting, which was reported about 1 a.m. Monday after an argument at the Club 66 nightclub on 11th Street, Yazoo City police said. The crime scene stretched around the corner to a house complex on Lindsey Lawn Drive.

Two of the men were pronounced dead at the scene, the Yazoo County coroner said. The other two wounded men were taken to a hospital, where they died.

"It's a big shock in Yazoo City," Chief Andre Lloyd said. "It's something that you hear from a bigger city. Now it's coming to a small town, so it's devastating to the people of Yazoo and all around here."

Names of the victims were not immediately released.

Barber is also charged in connection with a 2016 shooting at Club Teflon in Yazoo City that killed Justin "Butch" Porter, 25.
